- Good muscle and skeletal balance
- High growth rates
French genetics were selected as they have to come from a Limousin Society that has been established for over 100 years.
In that time they have worked with the use of technicians and breeders to keep improving the males & females with the use of classification, scoring animals one muscles, skeletal values, locomotion, temperament, confirmation, milk and calving ease backed up with genomic values.
This is a system that delivers practical and trustworthy advice of which bulls to use on heifers and the continuous improvement of females and bulls for retention and sale.
